Where to eat

Toro Toro has been on my brunch radar for a while, but I haven’t had the chance to try it. I did, however, have a chance to try their happy hour. I was very pleasantly surprised. Toro Toro’s happy hour menu was fairly extensive with cocktails running $5 and nibbles from $5 to $12.
I went with a co-worker and we started with margaritas. It was your standard margarita, but still ...

I have a friend who loves pizza, so I’ve been trying a few different pizza spots lately. Last week we went to Menomale for lunch in Brookland. I’m really starting to like this area of northeast DC.

The menu was small which I appreciated. I think if you offer too many selections, the quality of the sandwich may suffer. And ...

So I had a lunch date at Brasserie Beck yesterday. I think this was my fourth visit to this restaurant and I was determined to order something other than the croque monsieur. They’re so delicious, it’s hard to resist!
I decided to fully branch out and try the mussels. I’ve had mussels once before. Let me clarify, I’ve tried other people’s mussels before. I’ve always loved the broth and wanted ...
